I don't have it either, but what I've learned over the past 20 years is that we're probably all somewhere on the autistic spectrum. You are here doing some social interaction though, you've had quite an enthusiastic response to your post. Is it just in real life that you find it hard?

Honestly, I'm just kind of shy and it takes me a very long time to open up to people, which makes meeting women and friends difficult since most of the opportunities in relation to that are random little one time occurrences.

I used to be very shy, but I also had no interest whatsoever in talking to most people. You are better off regretting the things you do and not the things you don't do though, and I don't fear awkwardness or embarrassment like I used to. It's hard work to find the few people that are worth talking to, and I don't really give a shit what everyone else thinks any more, which helps considerably.

It certainly can be a disorder, in that it can be very disabling. Of course it depends on the severity. I'm glad that it isn't something I've had to deal with myself, but I have seen it in others. One guy I knew during childhood was very affected by it in particular. It's a great thing that awareness about the condition is being spread, even if it isn't enough. I am sure that the kid I knew could have been spared of a lot of hardship had he been diagnosed. But back then nobody knew about the condition, least of all the kids he went to school with. All we saw was an intolerably egotistical kid with no empathy whatsoever. Which led to him being brutally bullied, every single day.

I remember that one of my teachers approached me and some of my friends and asked us if we'd mind hanging out with the kid, just once in a while. She told us that he was just a normally functioning kid who'd had some bad luck making friends. At that point we knew very little about him, but when we invited him home one day, it became obvious within minutes that the kid was insufferable. He just did not function socially and he threw tantrums all the time, literally.

When he was finally diagnosed with asperger's, I guess the damage was done. He had been left to fend for himself in the schoolyard jungle as a kid, through puberty, as an adolescent, and I'm not sure he's experienced much else than defeat during those years. It's such a shame that he wasn't diagnosed much earlier and placed in environments much more fitting to his condition. Instead he ended up being bullied and beaten up, kicked out of several schools, kicked out of home by his own parents. His parents took him back when he was diagnosed, but the last thing I heard of him was that he'd attempted suicide several times.

Looking back, I feel extremely bad that I didn't do more to make his life a little easier by being around him more, but the truth is that it wasn't possible. I also feel ashamed that nobody tried to help out a kid that obviously had problems, that nobody even tried to find out if he had a disorder of some kind. And finally, it makes me sad to think about how many kids have experienced the same thing. Awareness, awareness, awareness!

I should mention, of course, that I also know people with the disorder who have no severely debilitating problems functioning professionally, socially and romantically.

ignorance, violence and lack of compassion are more of a disorder

Expecting kids not to be ignorant and to be compassionate about things they are ignorant of isn't a solution. We can easily agree that the world is full of idiots, and I'm in no way condoning the bullying that took place. But the thing is that his Asperger's was severe enough that it made him socially ignorant, violent and lack compassion. I know that most people with Asperger's are high functioning, but when it's so severe that the individual cannot go through school by conventional means, cannot engage in friendships or romantic relations, cannot hold down a job, then it is a disorder and it does need to be diagnosed and treated in some way. By denying this, you're only doing those who suffer from severe Asperger's a disservice.

This is very much like the kid I mentioned earlier in this thread, the one I went to high school with. He somewhat regularly beat up his sister, couldn't hold a job at all, constantly skipped school, had severe psychological issues etc. He ended up dropping out of high school but they put him into this "alternative" high school where he got his diploma, it was basically where they sent kids who had severe behavioral issues. In my honest opinion, I would say he was of somewhat above average intelligence and could have done very well in a degree program if he put his mind to it. However, after he graduated he just became a total recluse, literally never left the house, and got into studying conspiracy theories, which he took to an extremely unhealthy level. The total isolation combined with his obsession with his self study made him even more paranoid and reclusive, eventually all of his friends disappeared from his life one by one. He wasn't a bad kid, he just needed a lot of help and a proper direction in his life.
 
I don't beleive it exists. It's a made up disorder, designed to section people off lolol... the symptoms anyhow don't make sense..

Well that's pretty dumb. I suppose you have a reason to hold this belief?

Though this was not the intention of his post, what he says does have some truth to it because far too many people are labelled as being on the autistic spectrum. I'm not entirely sure what is driving psychiatrists to so regularly push for these labels to be applied to young children, including ADHDH/ADD, Bipolar etc.

Advances in knowledge are part of the reason. Progress. In the past the generally acceptable way of dealing with kids like these would have just been to hit them more, and just keep doing it until they stop being naughty, rude, or stupid. Whether any AS disorders are considered to be a disability or not depends on the severity and how it impacts on the persons life or expectations in life. Many young men with Asperger's do end up in prison or young offender's institutes.

Oh, so you've bought into some kind of insane conspiracy theory? Why didn't you just say so from the start so I could have ignored your nonsense all along?

And you may comment all you want. I was just asking you nicely not to.
 
I just got 33, so allowing for errors, I seem to be in one of these groups.

  • 26-31 gives a borderline indication of an autism spectrum disorder. It is also possible to have aspergers or mild autism within this range.
  • 32-50 indicates a strong likelihood of Asperger syndrome or autism.
This could explain lots.....
